The Hill's Prescription Diet k/d Kidney Care with Chicken Canned Cat Food is clinically proven nutrition that can help transform your pet’s life. As pets age, damage to the kidney tissues may occur, which affects the kidney’s role to function properly and filter toxins and waste from the blood. It is irreversible, and will lead to further loss of kidney function. This may also decrease their appetite, which could eventually result in the loss of muscle mass. And so the Hill’s nutritionists and veterinarians created this special diet, which supports your cat’s kidney function and helps to sustain muscle mass—in fact, the nutrition of k/d is clinically tested to improve and lengthen the quality of life.
Key Benefits- Protects vital kidney and heart function with proven nutrition developed by nutritionists and veterinarians.
- Stimulates appetite and increases caloric intake, and supports the natural ability to build lean muscle daily.
- Made with controlled phosphorus and low sodium, plus therapeutic levels of l-carnitine and omega-3 fatty acids.
- Also includes high levels of essential amino acids, which are the building blocks of protein.
- Made in USA and clinically tested to improve and lengthen the quality of life.

Pets can be sensitive to sudden changes in their diets. For this reason, it is extremely important to follow a gradual transition plan to best support your pet's health and product effectiveness. It is recommended to follow at least a 7-day transition plan before exclusively feeding your pet a new food. Cats will often refuse mixed diets, so we recommend adding the new food to a separate bowl from the old food. Start by mixing 75% of your pet's current diet with 25% of the new diet on Day 1 and Day 2. On Day 3 and Day 4, mix 50% of the current diet with 50% of the new diet. On Day 5 and Day 6, mix 25% of the current diet with 75% of the new diet. On Day 7, you can feed your pet the new food exclusively. Ask your Veterinarian about the best way to transition your pet to a new food.
| Transition Day | Current Diet | New Diet |
|---|---|---|
| Days 1-2 | 75% | 25% |
| Days 3-4 | 50% | 50% |
| Days 5-6 | 25% | 75% |
| Day 7 | 0% | 100% |

Senior cat newly diagnosed kidney disease
By chaimomma on Nov 11, 2021
My 15 year old cat Finn was recently diagnosed with moderate kidney disease. His vet put him on this prescription food to keep his quality of life good for his remaining years. Finn can be a little picky about his food, but surprisingly he had no problem switching to this can food. I will say this can food has a different texture to it than the Friskies can food he was eating before. This food is more sticky, like a pasty consistency. I have to add a little water to it so my cat can eat it easier. I also wish it came in more flavors besides just chicken. Hopefully my cat will not get tired of eating the same flavor for the rest of his days. Ordering this prescription food was very easy.

Very good food for senior cats with kidney disease
By ToffeesMom on Nov 7, 2021
My cat is over 16 years old with kidney disease, and the vet recommended this food to keep his disease controlled. He is a nibbler and only eats about 1/4 can at a time. He used to eat only a teaspoon at first, but since I found this food online and it seems fresh, he is eating much better. It smells pretty bad, but he doesn't mind. As long as he is eating, I am happy.

Healthy vs price vs taste
By Howy on Nov 18, 2021
It took my a while to get him to eat this for his health. But had to mix it with other food still. For the price I have to pay. I would think you could invest more time in making the food tasty for the cats to love it. Since you have to get a prescription from a vet to use and pay more because it's special.

Seems to like it
By Jocelyn on Nov 11, 2021
I was afraid my older girl would not be able to make the switch from her regular food to this RX formula. To my surprise, she seems to be enjoying it. That does not stop her from sneaking bites of her brother's food now and then, but I feel like between the K/D wet and dry, she is getting enough of the "good stuff" for her health.

My cat likes it.
By Barbara on Oct 30, 2021
He eats it all. It is a new food for him. He threw up once so far but he ate too fast. The food is of a soupy consistency; I use a spoon to get it out of the can. We were lucky the food was delivered in time for my weekend away. It came the day before, after a bit of a hassle getting the Rx from the vet. The other food Chewy said was shipping first arrived after I returned from my trip. : (

Cat hates texture!- and taste
By JRAZ on Oct 4, 2021
We started with a k/d sample pack from the vet. My cat with early stage kidney disease ate all of the foods, so I ordered a case of the 5.5oz chicken flavor k/d and a bag of the chicken flavor dry. He had recently been on c/d and hated the goopy/mushy pate. Sample can of k/d had more of a gelatinous texture and held together. New case of k/d is goop again and cat won’t eat it! He loves the dry, but vet wants my older cats to have canned food for at least 1/2 their diet. Tried mixing k/d dry and canned; he wouldn’t touch it! Tried mixing 1/2 pate w/1/2 stew, which worked with the c/d, but he wouldn’t eat it. This is the boy I’ve referred to as the Labrador of cats!

He’ll eat tofu, vegetarian chili, etc., but he won’t eat goopy, pork-based canned food. Hill’s, do better! I have fed your food to both cats and dogs for 40yrs. I have never had a pet refuse your food till pork pate c/d and now k/d. I’ll feed the pate, if he’ll eat it, but almost $2 per 2.9 oz can is a lot on my retirement income, especially with regular senior bloodwork and dentals for two cats! My boys will get what they need. You could make it a lot easier by making the 5.5 oz cans of pate a better texture and taste. … more

First time order for this product
By Reichensue on Nov 12, 2021
My cat loves this. My previous experience with this product many years ago had me hesitant to buy a case, but happily all is good. Hills has certainly upgraded the formula. The prescription order was completely hassle free and the shipping very quick.

Picky cat wouldn't eat it.
By MK1978 on Sep 20, 2021
My kidney failure cat, who can't afford NOT to eat, won't touch this food. She likes chicken ordinarily so maybe it was because it's a pate but I've been trying to mix it into her not-so-great-for her Friskies all week and as soon as the ratio of K/D food is more than a tiny spoon, she won't touch ANY of it. That's a shame too because it's better for her and I like how much moisture is in it but it's a definite no-go. As an aside, it would be nice if there was a variety pack to sample flavors, or at least a package that isn't 24 cans in the event the cat won't eat it, because that becomes an expensive waste of RX food.

Thanks Hill's
By Marlise on Oct 25, 2021
Having a cat with diabetes and kidney issues makes it difficult to find appropriate foods. My cat seems to be doing very well with Hill's Prescription Diet K/D Chicken Canned Cat Food as part of his diet. Extra bonus is that he loves it.
